At 24, I arrived in New Zealand for a three-month adventure in 2004, only to find myself captivated by the country's charm.
I decided to anchor myself in Wellington, a vibrant city that became my home for seven transformative years. Amidst the lush landscapes and serene harbor, I blossomed both professionally and personally.
I experienced the joy of companionship, the exhilaration of entrepreneurship as I founded a startup, and the fulfilling rigor of contributing to government organizations. My tenure in New Zealand until 2011 wasn't merely about residing in a foreign land; it was about embracing a new culture, challenging my capabilities, and molding an enriched version of myself.
It was a monumental chapter in my life that profoundly influenced my perspective and journey.
